The vast majority of non-System D3 teams fare much worse than 17-8. Is there dismissal of the style of play used by every sub-.500 team? Nope.
If the Grinnell System was used over several seasons by 62 or 71 D3 teams and none reached the final 4, then we'd have a sampling to which a valid critique could apply.
When only 2 or 3 out of 406 teams use a particular style of play, that style's potential has not been tested much.
